From: Aspergillus oryzae spore germination is enhanced by non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma
Effect of plasma on spore surface. (a) Surface morphology of fungal spores analyzed via SEM after plasma treatment for 2 and 5 min in PBS and PDB solutions, respectively. Arrows indicate the protruded germ tube. (b) FTIR spectra of fungal spores following plasma treatment in PBS and PDB for 2 min and 5 min, respectively. Black and red lines represent N2 gas and plasma treatments, respectively.
